Henry ]. Hudson.

Republican nominee for County Judge,
was born in London, Nov. 2S, 1872 He
moved to Americs in 1851, accompanied
by his wife and three oldest children.
He lived in Illinois until April 1857,
when he removed to Nebraska, where he
has lived ever since, raising large FAM
ily, each one of them an honor to their
parents.
To give even an outline OF Mr.. Hud-
sons public career would more than fill
all the columns of the JOURNAL. In the
early days he was elected representative
from Monroe, Platte, Dodge and Wash
ington counties to the legislature, but
was "whittled" out of the position in
contest; later along,in 1912, he served
term in the legislature, and was unani-
mously selected by his fellow-members
as one of the managers for the House IN
the impeachment trial OF Gov. Butler.
Mr.. Hudson has been three times post
master; Justice of the Peace eleven
years consecutively, and afterwards SIX
years, resigning the position; county
clerk three times; county commissioner
three terms; as county supervisor, under
township organization, he is now serv-
ing his second term, and is chairman
of the board.
For the Office of County Judge Mr..
Hudson is peculiarly well qualified-a
man of family and experience, he real
izes the Importance of faithfully guard
ing the interests of the widow and the
children in the settlement Of estates OF
decedents, and he would see to it that
Justice he done. For an intelligent dis
charge of the duties OF the Office, with
great credit to himself and with honor
to the county, no one questions Mr..
Hudson's ability to far exceed his COM
petitor. He ought to be elected unani-

The Z. & NJ. detectives have been at
work since the burning of the bridge
between Lincoln and Crete, on the night
of the 9th ferreting ont the incendiaries.
The burning bridge when discovered
Was found saturated with coal oil, and
three men were seen by farmer near
the bridge at the time. Friday even
ing detectives brought two colored men,
arrested on suspicion at Dewitt, and
yesterday Marshal Pettioned, of Bea-
trice, brought the third man, whom he
had arrested in Beatrice. The three
protest their innocence, but the detec-
tives claim they have good evidence on
which to hold them.
An accident occurred Tuesday morn
ing at the west end of the switch at
Big Springs whereby Engineer Fen
wick suffers broken arm and cut on
the head, Fireman Cory bruise on the
left side of his back and on his left
shoulder, and Brakeman Carlson
sprained ankle. Whoever had used the
switch last had failed to put the pin
into its place to fasten the switch to it's
place, and, though the switch was not
open, the rails did not meet as they
should, and the engine and several
freight cars were ditched. None OF the
injured men are likely to suffer any
thing more than temporary inconven-
fence while awaiting recOvery.-North
Platte Telegraph.
The Columbus journal., 1887-10-12

A GooDLY number of our exchanges
are calling for an extra session of the
legislature for the purpose OF securing
some law that would result in reducing
the very high freight rates in this state.
Now If an extra session can accomplish
this object, we say by all means let us
have an extra session; but We doubt if
the men who were elected last fall, and
a majority of whom were controlled by,
the railroads last winter, can be made
to pass such law as the people demand.
We doubt if such law as is needed can
be passed until new legislature is
elected. When that time comes if those
interested, the farmers, will put their
shoulders to the wheel they may &C
complish vast amount Of fgood.-Schuy-
Ter Herald.

John n. Sacrider.

The republican nominee for Clerk of the
District Court, was born in Duchess
county, New York, March Sd, 1889.
At the age of twelve he became q resi-
dent of Illinois, living first for a short
time in La Sale county, afterwards in
Henry county. He passed his youth
partly on farm, at school and as clerk
in a store.
In 1862, he joined Company ID Of the
56th Regiment OF Illinois Volunteers,
and served his country as a soldier,
faithfully and well, until March %, 1866.
In 1871, sixteen years ago, Mr.. Sac
rider came to Platte county, taking a
homestead under the government his
valor helped to save,-the hundred and
sixty acres in Monroe township that has
since been his home.
Mr.. Sacrider is man of good judg-
ment. a scholarly, well-informed man
and an excellent penman. He will fill
the Office of Clerk OF the District Court
with honor to himself and the county.

waukee, Chicago and elsewhere, refuse
to join in the demonstrations Of vel

as "smacking too much Of the homage
paid to royalty in Europe" No wonder
there is bitterness and heart burnings
among the lsboring masses of tho
country.
The Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion, like all other Bureaus and De-
partments Of Government, is required to
submit to Congress at the beginning of
every session, estimates for the coming
fiscal year. The law requires that these
estimates shall be in tho hands Of the
Secretary Of the Treasury by the first Of
October. Most of them generally come
in later. But the Inter State Commerce
Commission is on hand like sore
thumb this year, and wants $500 for
the Secretary and S159,OOO for other
necessary expenses-making total Of
$4,000. The present appropriation is
100000, and that was thought at the
time to be extravagant. But here in
less than eight months, a democratic
reform, economical administration, pro-
poses in actual report to Congress, to
double the amOuntl Some inquisitive
fellow might ask, what do We get in re-
turn! That is a question, my dear sir;
that is puzzling others than you and
me, and it may be long time before
satisfactory answer is given. The ex-
pense is all We get now.
Sparks, the Commissioner OF the Gen.
eral Land Office is constantly id trouble,
and he don't seem to learn anything by
experience. After thirty months Of ser
vice, he is apparently as ignorant in re-
gard to his duties as Nicodemus was re-
lative to the second birth. The Secre-
tary Of the Interior Department has
frequently had occasion to reverse the
decisions Of the Commissioner so un-
justly rendered against the western
land settlers, and is now engaged on
another batch. Sparks acts on the
hypothesis that every land taker is
rascal, and should be watched and
treated as thief. He is in very bad
OdOr in the Department as well as
throughout the country, and it is well
known that the Secretary and other high
officials of the Interior desire most ar
IDENTIFY his resignation. 1t is not un-
likely that demand will be made for
his absolute dismissal. r.

that the current campaign in this county
is to be one Of unusual activity on the

Judge Maxwell.

The republican state convention,
which met at Lincoln on last evening
did honor to itself in the denomination
Of Judge Maxwell as candidate for Judge
of the supreme court. His many years
service on the supreme bench have made
for him, throughout the length and
breadth of the state, record for ability,
faithfulness and honesty that will bring
to his support the intelligent, honest
voters. Of all parties at the November
election. As We have said before, upon
the integrity of our courts rests the
foundation of all our liberties as citi-
zens, our judges are the bulwarks of our
National and individual independence.

Henry Rickert,

The republican nominee for County
Clerk, was born in Oldenburg, Germany,
in 1850. In 1853 he came to Nebraska
with his parents, his father pre-empting
16O where Henry now lives. In 1865,
when Henry was fifteen years of age, his
father died-his mother is still living
with her son and only child. Mr.. Rick.
ert now owns 400 good acres of land in
Shell Greek valley, and is a man highly
esteemed by his neighbors and his &C
quaintances generally. In Bismark
township, where he resides, he has held
the Office of justice of the peace, clerk,
school director and treasurer, and has
always shown ability, honesty and faith
fulness in the discharge of duty. When
Mr.. Rickert was lad of fourteen he met
with an accident that permanently bent
his spine, but does not prevent his do
ing mans full work.
We can assure our readers that Mr..
Rickert is, in every way, worthy the
Office for which he is nominated.

The democracy of the Fourth Judicial
district met at the Court House, this
city, last Saturday. The convention
was duly organized, E. F. Gray of Ere

Ter II, Loomis 4, Ewing 8.
The first formal ballot: Sullivan 81,
Gilkison AZ, Miller 8, Loomis 4. J.J.
Sullivan Of Platte county, and j. r
Gillkison of Saunders county were
thereupon made the unanimous choice
of the convention, Mr.. Gilkison re-
spending in q very modest speech for
the honor conferred.

Washington Letter.
from our regular correspondent.

From our regular correspondent.
The Treasury Department is in a
quandary again over the surplus ques-
I ton and the buying Of bonds to relieve
business distress. It's seasons of re-
Taxation seem to be exceedingly spas
modic and of short duration. The time
of filling the sinking fund expires on
the Sth, and what then TO do is a most
serious question. 1t is two months yet
before Congress can give any relief, and
how to bridge the interim is very an
ncying and perplexing. The Secretary
has had a conference with the Wall
street bankers, and returned just in
season to have short interview with
the President before he left for the
west. 1t is said that the Secretary
questions his authority to go much
further, though the Wall street sharks
have no qualms Of conscience on that
point SO long as they have bonds to sell
at good round price, but don't propose
to tender them very lively at the last
bid of the Secretary. The result of the
interview with the President is not
known, as they are extremely reticent
at the Treasury Department, but the
presumption is that no definite policy is
settled upon up to this writing, and that
telegraphic communication and special
messengers will have to be relied on.
This will sadly mar the pleasure of the
Presidents trip, and Of course cause
more or less delay and confusion, and
all for the want of some fixed, settled,
and definite policy in regard to our
finances. All this uncertainty and per-
picking anxiety could have been easily
avoided by calling an extra session, and
making amends for the criminal neglect
Of the last Congress. If the admins
tration were alone the sufferers, We
could view the situation with some COM
placency, but where the entire people
are involved, such lack of forethought
seems most stupid.
Our democratic friends have talked
good deal during the past thirty months
about Jeffersonian simplicity, and ap-
piled it with wonderful dexterity to the
present administration. The fact of
history is this: Jefferson rode down
Pennsylvania Avenue on his nag, tied it
to post near the Capitol, and unos-
tentatiously passed through the cere-
monies Of his Inauguration. Today
President Cleveland is careerinQ
through the land in q 100000 train of
cars, beckoning for ovation and ap-
plause. An eye half open can see the
Righteousness Of such an absurdity.

HALIFAX, n. s., Oct. 5.-A miraculous
escape from death by starvation is re

prominent dry goods merchant, started
on foot to inspect farm at Lake Lands,
in the Mount Uniack gold district, a

to return elected no surprise, as it WAS

his way in the bush and that he existed

he could not articulate. He succeeded
in finding the track Of the Windsor 4

of his umbrella, and stuck it in tie
sand, as sign of distress, to attract the
attention of trainmen. 1t was not motto
